“The View” Co-host Whoopi Goldberg signed on Tech reporter Kara Swisher’s Dream to buy the Washington Post from Jeff Bezos Or the idea that it is even ‘time for a new newspaper’.
Swisher said last year that she was working on putting together a group of investors to buy the position, although the founder of the billionaire Amazon has not given any indications that he is willing to sell the Washington, DC paper.
De post heeft de afgelopen maanden een uittocht van spraakmakende verslaggevers en redacteuren geleden en heeft zowel sommige lezers als medewerkers irriteerd toen het vorig jaar aankondigde dat het een kandidaat niet zou onderschrijven bij de presidentsverkiezingen van 2024. Bezos, die de eer heeft genomen voor het nixen van een geplande goedkeuring van de Democratische genomineerde Kamala Harris, heeft medewerkers verder geïrriteerd met recente wijzigingen in de opiniepagina van de newspaper.
In the midst of the constant drama in the post, Swisher repeated her desire to buy the newspaper during the Thursday episode of “The View”, and said she knows many billionaires that would help.

“The money is not the problem. The problem is that Jeff Bezos does not want to sell it because he sees it now,” said Swisher on the day of Gabfest.
“Musk has X, and he has this. Now, what happens, is that all really good people are leaving. Ruth Marcus is just left, a great columnist, the head of PR just left, the head of communication, yesterday, and they just lose subscriptions and it is all due to Jeff’s things,” Swisher said.
“He likes to blame the reporters. They don’t like to change and I would have been agreed 10 years ago, but the reporters understand that they should change,” Swisher continued before Goldberg stuck in it.
“So maybe,” said Goldberg when Swisher asked if she wanted to be involved.
“I do that,” said Goldberg. “Maybe the idea is … crowdfunding, because I think that many people like to be part of a newspaper that had something to say.”
Goldberg said she has seen crowdfunding that do ‘amazing things’ and feels that it can help repair the mail.
“Or maybe it’s time for a new newspaper,” said Goldberg.

Earlier this week, the old postcolumnist Ruth Marcus described her Leave the paper In a piece before the New Yorker, who calls the publisher of the newspaper for killing her column critically about Bezos.
“I could no longer stay until I could – until the owner of the newspaper, Jeff Bezos, spoke an edict that the advisory offer of the post would now concentrate on the double pillars of ‘personal freedoms and free markets’, and, even more worrying, that” visits against those pillars are published by others. ” I stayed until the publisher of the post, Will Lewis, killed a column that I submitted last week in which I had spoken with this new direction. Marcus wrote.
